Age-related Macular Disease – Is a disease associated with aging that gradually destroys sharp‚ central vision. Central vision is needed for seeing objects clearly and for common daily tasks such as reading and driving. AMD affects the macula‚ the part of the eye that allows you to see fine detail. There are two forms of age-related macular degeneration: Dry form

defined as the manifestation of biological events that occur over a span of time. Aging can also be defined as a progressive functional decline‚ or a gradual deterioration of physiological function with age‚ including a decrease in fecundity (Partridge and Mangel‚ 1999)‚ or the intrinsic‚ inevitable‚ and irreversible age-related process of loss of viability and increase in vulnerability (Comfort‚ 1964). Clearly‚ human aging is associated with a wide range of physiological changes that not only make us

Case Study 1 1. Briefly describe the three major layers of skin that make up healthy skin The three layers that make up healthy skin: Epidermis‚ Dermis and Hypodermis. Epidermis is composed of keratinized‚ stratified squamous epithelium. This layer provides a thick‚ water proof protective covering over the underlying skins. The dermis layer is composed of primarily of dense‚ irregular‚ fibrous connective tissue that is rich in collagen and elastin. The dermis contains blood vessels‚ nerve ending

The Aging Population: Baby Boomers Carolyn A. Bounds HCS/490 January 8‚ 2014 Dr. Michael O. Minor Aging Population: Baby Boomers After 16 years of war and depression‚ World War II ended in 1945‚ and more babies were born between 1946 and 1964 (78 million) than ever before and never since‚ which gave way to the name “baby booms”. The first stage of the boom occurred during 1945-1950‚ and the second was from mid 1950-1964. Financial advantages turned out to be plentiful after the war;

of processing of the senses in human and animal systems‚ such as vision‚ auditory‚ vestibular‚ and pain senses. Included in this topic is the study of illusions such as motion aftereffect‚ color constancy‚ auditory illusions‚ and depth perception. Sensation is the function of the low-level biochemical and neurological events that begin with the impinging of a stimulus upon the receptor cells of a sensory organ. It is the detection of the elementary properties of a stimulus.[1] Perception is the
